Sharkattack: Final Round: Continental Recfest

Sharkattack 08.15.20	Oh shit!
bloodshy 08.15.20	I'm going to recommend The California Raisins - Meet The Raisins. Band is from California obviously. Their debut hits heavy with blues influences. Very cult, though they did briefly see COMMERCIAL success in '88. Lead singer left and created Fruit of the Loom in the late 90's, didn't have quite the critical acclaim, but it was a BETTER FIT for him.
Sharkattack 08.15.20	Fucking lol
bloodshy 08.15.20	It's dried humor.
Sharkattack 08.15.20	I feel like bloodshy should host the next Continental Recfest...?
Sharkattack 08.15.20	Jesus Christ dude you’re at the wrong website
bloodshy 08.15.20	Don't you host them all? And why the wrong website?
Minushuman24 08.15.20	ha
Sharkattack 08.15.20	I mean like it was my list idea or whatever but I honestly think I kind of suck at it and I take too long and my write ups suck and my taste is super weird but also hella predictable and obvious and I don’t know seems like I should pass the torch or whatever? I think someone could do it better and probably more interestingly.
Sharkattack 08.15.20	Also it would be fun to compete in a tournament like this especially since I know al this music from other countries now.
bloodshy 08.15.20	I would be honored, Shark. We can pass the torch after each tournament perhaps.
Divaman 08.15.20	Right. So what did I miss?
bloodshy 08.15.20	I won, Diva. I won.
bloodshy 08.15.20	Actually, passing the torch that often makes continent hopping difficult. Do you do this once a year?
Sharkattack 08.15.20	Diva would also be an amazing Recfest host fuck
bloodshy 08.15.20	Oh...
Divaman 08.15.20	Too much listening for me. I don't mind keeping up with a song of the day, or even listening to two albums a week for something like the folk tournament or the prog tournament. But I can barely keep up with listening to all the new stuff I need to keep current every year.
Sharkattack 08.15.20	I don’t know I’m just trying to get out of it haha you want it bloodshy?
bloodshy 08.15.20	Sure, give me the lowdown. Do you do this yearly? Quarterly? How long have you been doing it? Is this your invention? What's your greatest takeaway?
Sharkattack 08.15.20	Alright I’ll shoutbox you some shit. I’ll mainly leave it up to you though. I just did it every June/summer because for some reason I thought I’d be less busy that time of year and for three years straight I’m incredibly wrong. However you want to structure it is your thang mang.
Sharkattack 08.15.20	But anyways holy shit I honestly at the start wouldn’t have guessed it’d be trif vs botulist but dems duh breaks I guess. Weird.
bloodshy 08.15.20	Here I thought botulist wasn't meant to be trifol'd with.
Sharkattack 08.15.20	Lol
botulist 08.15.20	whoa! I’m in the finals! Thank you, Dog Faced Hermans
bloodshy 08.15.20	Way to go! Good luck beating the California Raisins though.
budgie 08.15.20	"but I honestly think I kind of suck at it" agered
budgie 08.15.20	i fully support bloodshy heading the second continental bla bla bla
Trifolium 08.15.20	Oh no botulist what are we going to do!!! I'll have to think about this a little while. Also: Shark you're doing a great job (and I'm not saying this because I'm still in!).
budgie 08.15.20	he's definitely saying that because he's still in
Sharkattack 08.15.20	[2]
Trifolium 08.15.20	Ssssshhh 🌝
Sniff 08.15.20	Commenting to see the final result
botulist 08.15.20	Yea, this is going to take a little bit
Trifolium 08.15.20	It's also mega scary
Sharkattack 08.15.20	Just to make this a little more fun I’m gonna steal sloths idea and whoever wins can choose my rating name thing.
Divaman 08.15.20	I think they should be allowed to name your first child.
SlothcoreSam 08.15.20	Great idea shark. Shame I lost
Sharkattack 08.16.20	What would you have chosen?
SlothcoreSam 08.16.20	hmmmm, not sure, I don't think I could have thought of anything as good as sandwich's name for me. Maybe something like.... "Inflatable Pool Shark Nearly Killed 5 Year Old Toddler, shhh if anybody asks, It Wasn't Me"
Sharkattack 08.16.20	Lol
bloodshy 08.16.20	If I chose Shark's new name: "Gather round, come-shark week is every week." It's only funny if you're a terrible person.
bloodshy 08.16.20	Thinking about hosting the next one soonish after this tournament ends, because Shark probably is itching to be on the other side of the contest. Whatcha guys think? Both Shark and the winner of this tournament get a .5 extra for the first round.
Minushuman24 08.16.20	I'd be down to try another one
Trifolium 08.16.20	Yeah me too, this contest is nice!
SlothcoreSam 08.16.20	I'm down bloodshy.
bloodshy 08.16.20	sounds good are we placing bets for the finals here?
Minushuman24 08.16.20	Trif!
Trifolium 08.17.20	Hahaha, thanks for the confidence Minus! This is totally scary, but I'm going to stick with stuff that I really like and keep this electronic theme going. It got me this far! My rec: The Field - From Here We Go Sublime This album got me into this guy when it was first released, and I've been a huge fan ever since. His looping samples never cease to lure me in, a true electronic magician from Sweden. Hope you dig!
dedex 08.17.20	down for another one too!
botulist 08.17.20	I’m tentatively rec’ing Mingus’ black saint and the sinner lady, but need maybe another day to think. Sorry to hold it up. Also, checking Trif’s rec because that sounds good.
Trifolium 08.17.20	Ayyyeee! That's some stiff competition! It's a whole other kind of music than my rec though, which will make Shark's job very difficult haha! And do check The Field if this sounds promising, he's a genius. Hope you like him!
bloodshy 08.17.20	I really like The Field. Not usually into that style of music, but Yesterday&Tomorrow or whatever that album is, is the epitome of summer music for me. On more than one occasion I actually turned off the air conditioning in my vehicle so I could blast that shit in sweltering heat.
Sharkattack 08.17.20	Love that album botulist. Love most Mingus so you’ll probably have to choose a different artist.
Trifolium 08.17.20	Yeah Yesterday & Today is awe-sooommee, thought about reccing that, but the debut is a great way in and it was my first Field so I hope that works as a kind of charm to enhance my chances of winning. I'm throwing everything in!!!!!!! [2] at the airco story, great decision.
botulist 08.18.20	alright, checked your ratings. Oxbow - The Narcotic Story
bloodshy 08.19.20	Oxbow Field - The Narcotic Goes Sublime
Trifolium 08.19.20	From The Uniden Swetes.
bloodshy 08.19.20	lol
budgie 08.19.20	"Yeah me too, this contest is nice!" hahahahhahahahahahha hahahahaha i thought you didnt do drugs trif
Trifolium 08.19.20	Hihihihihihihihi my only drug is this contest.
botulist 08.22.20	are we DOA in the final round?
bloodshy 08.22.20	Hoping it's not too late to change my rec from The California Raisins to The Almond Brothers Band - Eat a Pecan.
Minushuman24 08.22.20	I hated that
bloodshy 08.22.20	I can leave it as California Raisins if it's a big deal.
Minushuman24 08.22.20	thank you
bloodshy 08.22.20	Gave me flashbacks of playing Fallout 4 and seeing "Piper hated that." after I completed some dialogue.
Minushuman24 08.22.20	lmao
bloodshy 08.24.20	bump
Uzumaki 08.24.20	I’d like to jump back in once this iteration is over, bloodshy.
bloodshy 08.25.20	I've got it set up and ready to go for when the time comes. If Sharkattack doesn't give me a rec in Season 4, I'm going to let him know about it daily in his shoutbox until the end of time/Sputnikmusic, or at least until the next season
Sharkattack 08.25.20	Thanks for playing everyone that’s it!
Uzumaki 08.25.20	Yay! honestly this was fun, and congrats to Botulist!
botulist 08.25.20	can’t believe this didn’t hit you the right way. beauty of an album and vocalist. But hey, can’t complain too much!
Sharkattack 08.25.20	Congratulations you’re the first person not named sandwichbubble to win this! Feel free to change my reviewer name to anything you like.
Divaman 08.25.20	Wait, I'm still thinking about my rec!
Sniff 08.25.20	Nice.
Trifolium 08.25.20	Wow, a definite photo finish! Nice one botulist! And thanks for the comp Shark, really liked it. I knew I was taking a risk with my rec, pity that it didn't pay off. I'm going to listen to it really loudly now because it demands it for sure!!!!
budgie 08.25.20	3.1&3.2 huh designed entire tournament hereby invalidated budg wins by default
Sharkattack 08.25.20	Wow holy shit nice comeback budgie!
Divaman 08.25.20	Almost have it.
budgie 08.25.20	my victory speech shall quake the earth
Trifolium 08.25.20	Congratulations budgie. You deserve the win!
bloodshy 08.26.20	Gratz Budgie! Real winner Botulist and Soupy R, you guys are planning on playing in the next tournament, right? It seems like people are already ready for another. Does anyone have any objections or need me to wait a bit?
Sharkattack 08.26.20	Go for it young padawan.
